Chapter 478: Chapter 475: Fierce Magical Beast Battle

With this realization, Feng Hao couldn’t help but crouch down, his gaze softening.

He gently stroked the little pup’s head and asked teasingly, "Hey, little guy. You want to eat me or something?"

"WOOF! WOOF!"

The little guy yipped twice, as if in response to Feng Hao’s words.

But when Feng Hao heard the two barks, he was left speechless. It took him a long moment to process it. ’Holy crap, it’s actually a puppy?! But it doesn’t look like one...’

"WOOF!" The little guy barked, grabbed Feng Hao’s pant leg in its mouth, and began to tug again, looking quite anxious.

Feng Hao had his share of experience with small animals, so he could clearly see the pup’s anxiety and distress. "You want me to follow you?"

Hearing this, the little guy released Feng Hao’s pant leg, nodded, then turned and dashed off in the direction it had come from.

"Heh, pretty smart." Feng Hao felt a wave of fondness. He pushed all thoughts of the Night Shadow Fox to the back of his mind and quickened his pace to follow.

As it turned out, Feng Hao’s guess was correct; the little pup had indeed come to him for help.

After following the little guy on a mad dash through the woods, Feng Hao was met with the scene of a terrifying battle—a battle between High-level Magical Beasts.

The combatants were a Tier Nine Red Ostrich and a pair of Tier Eight Silver Moon Wolves, one male and one female.

Silver Moon Wolves may be the Kings of the jungle, but they had no advantage against a flying magical beast like the Red Ostrich—especially not a Tier Nine Red Ostrich.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The air was filled with earth-shattering explosions from the battle between the High-level Magical Beasts. The two Silver Moon Wolves leaped and pounced ferociously, but they couldn’t even graze the Red Ostrich.

Under the Red Ostrich’s flame attacks, the two Silver Moon Wolves looked battered and beleaguered. The female was severely injured, her gray-and-white fur stained mostly red with blood.

Watching from a distance, Feng Hao’s heart pounded in his chest. He subconsciously activated his Shadow Stealth and Blackeye abilities to avoid being spotted by the Red Ostrich in the sky.

"Don’t tell me those two Silver Moon Wolf Kings are your parents?" Feng Hao asked, giving the little pup a strange look.

The little guy stared at the battle ahead and nodded repeatedly, its bright, watery eyes filled with desperation.

"Holy hell! You’re clearly a puppy, and you’re telling me your parents are two wolves? Who do you think you’re fooling?" Feng Hao said, completely speechless.

"WOOF! WOOF!" the little guy yelped urgently, once again tugging at Feng Hao’s pant leg.

Feng Hao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "You want me to go over there and help? You’ve got to be kidding me!"

However, before Feng Hao could refuse, the Red Ostrich in the sky was drawn over by the little pup’s two barks.

With a flap of its wings, the Red Ostrich let out a screech and dove. Even from a distance, Feng Hao could feel the scorching heat. The surrounding grass and trees began to give off white smoke, and some even burst into flames.

’Son of a bitch... learning to screw people over at such a young age!’ Feng Hao cursed inwardly, on the verge of tears from sheer exasperation.

As the Red Ostrich dove toward them, the little pup scrambled to hide behind Feng Hao, its fluffy body trembling in obvious fear.

Meanwhile, the Silver Moon Wolf pair had also noticed the pup and came rushing over with furious howls.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

With a flash of light from between their brows, the Silver Moon Wolf pair instantly fired two silvery-white Moon Blades. The blades spiraled and intertwined, intercepting the diving Red Ostrich and forcing it to pull back.

Feng Hao seized the opportunity to scoop up the pup and retreat to a safer position.

To his surprise, however, the Silver Moon Wolf pair pounced on him. From their ferocious expressions, it was clear they had misunderstood the situation.

"Whoa! Brother Wolf, Sister Wolf, can’t we just talk this out?" Feng Hao yelled, scrambling away as he tried to explain. "I didn’t kidnap your kid! This little guy insisted on dragging me over here!"

"AWOOO!"

The Silver Moon Wolf pair quickly cornered Feng Hao. They glanced at the pup in his arms, and their gazes softened somewhat, but they remained wary of him.

"Uh... here’s your little guy back. I don’t want to get involved in this mess."

Seeing the Red Ostrich dive toward them again, Feng Hao had the sudden urge to drop everything and run for his life. But when he saw the pup’s pitiful expression, he hesitated.

In the instant he hesitated, the Red Ostrich was upon them, sweeping in with a roar of fierce flames and gale-force winds. A wave of intense heat instantly enveloped them.

BANG!

With a slight tremble of its wings, the Red Ostrich condensed a spiraling Fireball and spat it toward Feng Hao, leaving a brilliant trail of flames in its wake.

It was clearly aiming for the pup in his arms.

Seeing this, Feng Hao’s temper flared. He was just about to summon Three-second Fire to block the spiraling Fireball when he saw the Silver Moon Wolf pair leap in front of him, taking the full brunt of the attack head-on.

The Silver Moon Wolf pair let out muffled grunts as their health plummeted. Patches of their once glossy fur were now scorched black.

"AWOOO—!" Ignoring the pain, the male wolf turned, bared its teeth, and howled at Feng Hao, signaling for him to take the pup and escape.

But Feng Hao’s eyes were already rimmed with red. Without a second thought, he stored the pup in Xiaohai’s pet wristband and twirled his twin daggers in his hands. "Run my ass! It’s just one stupid Tier Nine Red Ostrich! Looks like I’m picking a fight with you today!"

"AWOOO!" The Silver Moon Wolf pair looked back anxiously, trying to shoo Feng Hao away.

But Feng Hao’s mind was made up; he wasn’t about to leave. "Brother Wolf, Sister Wolf, don’t panic! I’ll help you drag it out of the sky!"

As he spoke, his body blurred into a shadow. Mid-leap, his Poisonous Chain shot out, wrapping tightly around the Red Ostrich in the air.

However, the strength of a Tier Nine Magical Beast was far beyond his imagination. Not only did the chain fail to drag the Red Ostrich down, but he himself was yanked up into the sky.

The Silver Moon Wolf pair roared in desperation, but there was nothing they could do.

After being pulled into the air, Feng Hao showed no sign of panic. He retracted the Poisonous Chain, pulling himself onto the Red Ostrich’s back, and simultaneously summoned Three-second Fire to resist the flames covering the beast’s body.

"Huh? Why are we in the sky?" Three-second Fire had just appeared and hadn’t gotten her bearings yet, her expression one of complete confusion.

"Cut the crap and help me take care of this fire bird!" Feng Hao didn’t have time to explain. He just held tight to the Poisonous Chain, doing everything he could to keep from falling.

Three-second Fire quickly realized the gravity of the situation. Without another word, she released a ring of crimson flames that enveloped the Red Ostrich.

"This thing’s fire resistance is extremely high. I’m not much of a threat to it. The most I can do is help you resist some of the flame damage," Three-second Fire said, her expression grave as she gave him a solemn warning.

"That’s fine. As long as you can block the flame damage, that’s all I need."

Feng Hao had expected as much. He gritted his teeth and gave a cold smirk. While his left hand gripped the Poisonous Chain, his right hand brandished the Divine Spirit Dagger, which pulsed with a dark light. He aimed for the most vulnerable part of the Red Ostrich’s body and unleashed a frantic barrage of slashes. With High-tier Qi Recovery Pills to replenish his energy, he could spam his [Dark Moon Massacre] skill as if it cost him nothing.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The Red Ostrich thrashed about wildly, trying to throw Feng Hao off. But with the Poisonous Chain wrapped tightly around its body, its struggles were futile.

"You’re one tough bastard. A weak point hit only did a little over fifty thousand damage!"

Feng Hao was inwardly shocked after just a few strikes. What made his expression turn grim was that, even with the sharpness of the Divine Spirit Dagger, combined with the destructive power of his mastered Secret Technique, [Dark Moon Massacre], he hadn’t managed to break through the Red Ostrich’s skin or feathers.
